      That was one of my least favorite episodes. Imagine that a young beautiful woman stops by and says that she's having car trouble, and she offers to baby sit in exchange for repairing her car and a place to stay for the night. When you wake up the next morning, both she and your baby are gone. How would you react? The Flintstones don't even seem to notice. In fact, Fred seems to be more concerned about an audition than where his baby is.

    I love to watch the Flintstones and I still do as a 53 years old. The Flintstones and the Honeymooners were very similar, Fred and Ralph acted much alike. The Flintstones had Ed Suli Stone as Ed Sullivan; Ann Marrock as Ann Marget; Stoney Curtis as Tony Curtis. They had the Hippies, the Beach Boys, the Beatles on their episodes. The first time to have caveman to have his own TV show; the Jetsons were okay but I truly love the Flintstones way better. Yes he was right Mel Blanc had a terrible auto accident that almost killed him. He was an unknown hospital patient at first, then they found out who was. Doctors and nurses will say Bugs Bunny, he replied Hey What's Up Doc. Porky Pig, he replied stuttering That's All Folks. And many other cartoons voices. He was the voice of Barney Rubble who was smart, intelligent, full of laughs, and jokes. I don't like the newer version of the Flintstones,the original is way better. Sometimes even the animals were smarter than the humans. Mel Blanc was the voice of Dino the Dinosaur.

    I can't necessarily say that it was the best episode, but I'll never forget the one with Grandma Dynamite, the little old lady housekeeper who was actually a bank robber. Another unforgettable episode had Fred entering the Indianrockolis 500 driving a race car under the pseudonym "Goggles Paisano", with the announcer proclaiming "He drives like he's coming home from work on the freeway!" But my personal favorite would have to be the time Barney decided to teach Fred a lesson about practical jokes by creating a fake counterfeiting machine loaded with real money to make Fred think he'd turned criminal. That was a blast.

    I was a kid in the 60's, this was my favorite cartoon, it still is today. My favorite : Fred is in charge to arrange a stag party for the Water Buffalos, also Pebbles birthday party. He gets entertainment for both and the store keeper gets the addresses mixed up. Poor Fred. I had no idea Mel Blanca did Barney from a hospital bed. He was dedicated. There will never be a cartoon as good as the Flintstones. In fact its coming in now, bye...

    The Flintstones are one of my favorite animated shows along with Popeye and Betty boop. Fred Flintstone and Ralph Cramden are definitely similar both loud , short tempered and overweight. Despite the Flintstones being a family show there's still adult references in the show. The show is mainly centered around adult life especially early on. Cactus juice is an alcohol drink. The episode were Fred had to party's to plan. A kids party and a water buffalo lodge party. Fred drank from a pitcher and said this is cactus , i can't serve to children. The dancing girls wore short outfits.

    THE SWIMMING POOL episode was actually the first one produced after the unaired pilot, which was reworked as this episode. It aired as the second episode of Season One, NOT Season Three. THE FLINTSTONE FLYER was the first aired episode. Dating the episodes is easy since the style was more refined by Season three. It was the Idea Toy company who contacted Hanna-Barbera with the concept of the girl doll to which Barbera quickly switched the concept, seeing the monetary potential. Ideal did not "advise" them. He tells this consistently in the interviews he has done.
    The story of how Yabba-Dabba-Do was not "speaking his mind" so much as if there were an argument. The consistent story here was that during the recording session, Reed suggested an expression that a Caveman would use to replace the line, 'Yahoo." Joe Barbera said, "Okay, try it," and it stayed. So Alan Reed created that trademarked expression that has forever been associated with Fred Flintstone, and has become a part of culture just as "Boop-Oop-A Doop" was in the 1930s due to Helen Kane and Betty Boop. I don't know where the connection to Brylcream story came from since that has never come out of any of the written accounts coming from credible sources.
    Regarding the change in Barney's voice due to Mel Blanc's accident, Daws Butler was urged by Joe Barbera to use his Art Carney impersonation, which he used for the Warner's HONEY MOUSERS cartoon. When Blanc returned, he adapted to Butler's interpretation with a voice having more depth. This explains the shift from the nasal voice from season one. Also, it's good to pronounce the names of the actors properly. Most people know that Bea Benadaret's name is pronounced Ben-a-dare-et. And Jean VanderPly is pronounced Vander-pile.
    The similarities between This is it and Rise and Shine are more coincidental that "inspirational." This is an assumption by circumstances, as both themes were composed around the same time. There is not documentation that there were any infringement suits involved that caused the theme to change in season three, but all will agree that it is a catchy song and is best remembered. The Winston's cigarettes issue was not so much the exposure to children since children also watched Westerns, which were also sponsored by cigarette companies. THE FLINTSTONES was originally aimed at adults. So the sponsors were WInston and Mile Laboratories. When it was realized that the show was attracting a large family audience, ABC sought out other advertisers to replace cigarettes. This was Best Foods, and later Welch's. They retained the Miles Laboratory sponsor as an alternate, and this brought about the Flintstones vitamins, which was another source for licensing income for the studio.
    While THE FLINTSTONES was nominated for an Emmy in Prime Time, it is worth mentioning that Hanna and Barbera received the Emmy the year before for THE HUCKLEBERY HOUND SHOW, which was a first run syndicated show. This was their first in a series of Emmys. And because of the association with Screen Gems, Hanna-Barbera did the animated titles for BEWITCHED not because of the connection with THE FLINTSTONES, which was only one episode, but because Screen Gems own a percentage of the studio at the time. These facts are documented in several credible books including the biographies of Bill Hanna (A CAST OF FRIENDS) and Joe Barbera (MY LIFE IN TOONS) as well as HANNA-BARBERA CARTOONS, by Michael Mallory, THE ART OF HANNA-BARBERA by Ted Sennet, and THE FLINTSTONES: A MODERN STONE AGE PHENOMENON, by T. R. Abrams.

    Most TV viewers only saw The Flinstones only in Black/White when it first aired since Color TV Sets were rare when it began and it wasn't until the 1965/66 season that color broadcast became the standard. The series had 166 episodes and the first pet wasn't Dino but Baby Puss the Saber Tooth Cat often getting the best of Fred in its closing credits but was absent almost entirely from the series. Hoppy the Prehistoric Kangaroo was the Rubbles and would often baby sit and carry Pebbles/Bam Bam in his pouch in some episode plus another animal in Flintsontes home was a pig like critter under the sink that was their garbage disposal. One reason why Bam Bam was adopted instead of the Rubbles having their own during the run solved the problem of Pebbles having a playmate the same age but it was a nice nod to the practice in real life. There was once even an Alien from the distant future as a recurring character on the show in its final season and The Great Gazoo was sent back in time to be reformed by using his powers to help Fred/Barney who he often called Dum Dums and could only be seen by them, the kids, and animals like Dino but came to enjoy being with them. Many other well known actor/actresses at the were reimagined as prehistoric versions of themselves with parody of their names with the likes of Cary Grant, Ann Margret, and even Ed Sullivan as pseudo stars in that era. The series was a financial juggernaut and it spawned numerous product tie ins as well as toys there was once even a Flinstones Camp Ground RV Park which just recently changed from its theme and less we forget the Vitamins in pill form shaped like them too. It wasn't until The Simpson began decades later that another Animated Series replaced it in profitability as number one in TV history but it's still ranked second in the greatest cartoon series right behind them by amoungst fans/critics. There was a follow on series with Pebbles/Bam Bam as teenagers and there was even a crossover on a later version on The Jetsons that aired too after just its two dozen original episodes but it also was seen mostly in Black/White like The Flinstones had. One of the few other Animated Series made for Primetime was the action/adventure series Johnny Quest which aired on all three major networks even as reruns and Warner Bros. Cartoons were made well before they made it onto TV since they were shown before films which made them a network favorite because they were cheaper to air. Indeed original cartoon programming was incredibly expensive to make for TV and Hanna Barbera almost had a monoloply of Saturday Morning Cartoon block but it wouldn't last as they became extinct as both FCC rules for selling toys to kids that payed for them were being banned after its Golden Era. Plus Networks got to wiggle out of having Kids Programming by claiming that it's educational requirement was served by non kids oriented drivel like sports and Saturday extensions of week day morning Talk Shows some 30yrs ago.

    There was one fact you could have put in about Bea Benadareet and that was she left the series to do her other iconic character of Kate Bradley in the long running series and spin off from Tahr Beverly Hillbillies was Petticoat Junction up until her death
